Is there a limit to the number of partitions a table can have in PostgreSQL?
The reason I as is we are looking again at partitioning our databases with the possibility of doing the partitioning by year, month, or even day. However, we are required by HIPPA to keep 7 years of data, and we are planning on maintaining the data online in our databases. While I can't imagine year or month being a problem, 7 years of daily partitions would be 2555+ partitions per table. Can PostgreSQL handle this many partitions per table? Is that feasible, or would the cost of the rules become to expensive to be feasible?
